I don’t know about you but I really love wearing sweatshirts right now. Well- at least when the weather is cools down below 65… which has been pretty rare this winter… OK I will stop… Sorry friends living in the midwest or the east coast! Anyway, back to sweatshirts. They are comfy, can be dressed(…)

Have you seen these…I’ve been wanting them! My friend/neighbor has them, so I’ve been putting them off, but I finally decided that it was OK to have twin shoes. I went to the store, all ready to take the plunge (TOMS aren’t cheap, right?) and they were out of my size…and actually they didn’t(…)

This week, I had a last minute Valentine sweater idea… It may have come from somewhere around 1982, but I enjoy a good pink and red combo around Valentines day, so I thought I’d give it a try…blast from the past, or not! I thought I’d put a surprise heart on the(…)

Little League Baseball Season is getting started around these parts, and one of my favorite things to do to get ready for the season is to make team shirts for my little girls to wear to my older son’s games. This year, my son is on the University of Hawaii Warriors! Fun, huh? I’ve(…)

Do you remember {this} cap-sleeve Everyday Tee that Jen posted way back when? Well, I fell in love with it, and put out about 5 of them. (you’ll recognize some of the shirts today if you go back and compare.) It’s a great pattern, and the shirt is so comfy that those shirts are my(…)

This post was somehow lost in the transfer… *** I don’t know whether you remember one of my very first posts on this blog, but I made Emily a bunch of pillowcase nightgowns. Well, Emily is now growing out of those cute nightgowns, so I knew it was time to make some more. Recently, I(…)

A little while ago, I was in Anthropologie, and I saw the cutest pencil skirt. It was actually being worn by one of the sales people. I asked her about it and she showed me where it was in the store. Immediately, because this is where my mind always goes, I thought of how I(…)

It has been a couple of months since I first saw this tee at Anthropologie. Ever since I saw it, I have been dying to make one, or a similar version. Right after I saw it, my friend Merrick (love her!) of Merrick’s Art, posted a tutorial for a knock-off. I love how hers turned(…)

Shout out to eighteen25 today. I saw this shirt from those cute girls last year, and have been itching to make it ever since. December 1st came around and I called my friend to help me bust this one out. i love love love it…thanks eighteen25 for the cutest Christmas shirt ever invented!!
